Beth Coldwell is dying.  With her weak heart, she may not live to the end of the week.  She has an operation scheduled and it's completely reasonable that she could die on the table.  For her guardian, Christian Henderson, this is unacceptable... but what can he do?  How can he stand between her and death?  Inexplicably, he provides an operation that saves her life, but he can't tell how he saved her.  It is a secret so dangerous that it must be kept from everyone.  And Beth cannot rest until she finds out why she's still alive and who Christian Henderson really is.
